wade in 1973, the u.s. supreme court overrode the u.s. normal democratic representational government note of policy-making and imposed an abortion policy on all 50 states, among the most privileged -- among the most permissive in the world, allowing any state to allow abortion for any reason into the six months and broadly defined health claims into the seventh month and later. it is true in recent cases the court has allowed some limitations along the margins, but abortion remains generally legal for every reason. you might think the abortion advocates and the abortion industry would be satisfied with that. it is after all, substantially less protective of the unborn child then the policy most americans say they would favor when they are askkd. but the pro-abortion advocates have never been satisfied. their literature is replete with complaints about what they see as enormous obstacles to access to abortion and say these obstacles prevent many abortions from occurring. these are smart and resourceful people who apparently spend a good de

that will drive businesses out of the u.s. the moratorium declared by the president that was struck down as unconstitutional. but this administration did not want to let a little thing like the constitution get in the way, so this week, they came back with another moratorium. basically foiling the constitution, the judicial sector, throw them away, just as they did with the auto task force, no confirmation from the senate. just appointed people. and they took charge of the automobile business. they came out with a zhrarings as to what -- with a declaration as to what dellerships would close and which ones would have their property taken without due process of law. they came out with a bankruptcy plan that did not go through the requirements of bankruptcy law. they found a judge -- i don't know the judge, but bankruptcy judges have to be confirmed i believe it's every 10 years. not a lifetime appointment. so apparently it was hard to find a judge who would sign off on an illegal, unconstitutional auto task force plan, nor accou
